Ah, it's the classic "proof by labels". "If I call this pen on my desk 'God', then since my pen clearly exists, God exists".
By "God", is this simply a label you use for "the thing which came first", or do you mean an intelligent being of some kind?
If the former, fine, though note that the rest of the planet uses "God" to mean the latter, which is a totally different meaning to your usage. Personally to avoid confusion, I'll use the term "big bang", but if you want to call it, say, "The Great Chicken Who Must Be Worshipped", then fine, but obviously this doesn't mean that there really is such a chicken, just because you labelled it such.
I sometimes think you just don't like the words "Big Bang" - the instant at which the Universe began is no more an event of the Universe than "God" would be.civ2 said:mdwh
The Big Bang is an event of the universe while God is not.
